A little about Me

Q. What does it mean to you to represent the Air force at Warrior Games?
A. It is a big responsibility to be a wounded warrior and make others proud. It allows me the opportunity to reconnect with my AF roots.

Q. How did your Service’s Wounded Warrior Program (Warrior Transition Unit, Wounded Warrior Regiment, Other Service Wounded Warrior Unit) assigned or previously assigned to enhance your recovery?
A. This is the first contact that I have made since my injury. I am definitely going to work harder and build on the foundation I have made in the AFW2 program.

Q. What is the significance of sports/competition? How has it helped you? What does it mean to you?
A. Competition lets you get your warrior spirit out! It is important because it is within all of us.

Q. What advice do you have for future athletes?
A. Work hard and keep working. It is never as bad as it looks.

Q. What are your short and long term goals (personal, professional, recovery-related, etc.)?
A. I would like to be a famous writer.
